Engaging Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders and Activating Communities to Take Steps (ENACTS)

Description

Our Specific Aims are: 1. At the individual level, to compare within-person change in BP and secondary outcomes between the intervention and control groups. 2. At the family level, to evaluate ENACTS' effects on BP and secondary outcomes as within-person change in family members who provide primary support, and as mean change in other adult family members who are not directly engaged in the intervention. 3. At the policy level, to evaluate the intervention's ability to influence grocery store policy on clearly identifying foods that are low in sodium or high in potassium, some of which might not be easily identified with existing labels (e.g., fresh produce). ENACTS combines empirically supported elements of existing programs, thus increasing its probability of success. It aligns with the American Heart Association's call for multilevel prevention.
